We received the following statement from the MGM National
Harbor Resort and Casino at approximately 3:30 this afternoon:

Due to an overwhelming response after our successful
Thursday grand opening, the MGM National Harbor casino floor again reached
capacity during the day on Friday. We first reached capacity just 45 minutes
after opening our doors at 10:30 p.m.

Guests with hotel and dinner reservations are encouraged to
arrive early and allow time for heavy, potentially crowded roadway conditions.
Others without reservations for tonight or this weekend are encouraged to consider
making plans to visit the new resort another time, after grand opening
weekend.

The National Harbor Traffic Command Center continues to
monitor and make adjustments for increased traffic flows in the area. Under the
supervision of the PGPD, the Center successfully managed grand opening night
traffic by making adjustments to key access points.
